You may have noticed that HC was unreachable for a few hours. This was likely caused by planned maintenance by the ISP, but my existing router doesn’t recover very well from these events and this happened while I was sleeping.
The good news is this router is being replaced later today anyway, ironically enough, with a 16 core monster. This also means there will have to be another outage at some point, but I will announce this one and things will settle down after that.
Anyway this happens very rarely (I hope I don’t jinx it lol), but don’t panic when it does, it’s only temporary and HC is coming back.
It’s a fun hobby, I enjoy it. You can start off small, a raspberry pi can be plenty of fun for example.
You don’t even need a pi. A VPS would do the job. Most good VPS companies offer money back for the first 14 days after purchase. Some even offer it 30 days after purchase
This is true, it’s just a nice feeling to self-host things
